Wright Marion Morris
USA 1910-1998
Wright Morris ('s)
taut American Gothic novels,
stories, essays and photographs
plumbed the mysteries
of the stark Nebraska landscape
and who was often called one
of the nation's most unrecognized
recognized writers
(...)
Drawing on a picaresque childhood
and comic overseas misadventures,
Mr. Morris wrote 33 books,
including 19 novels,
three memoirs,
four books of essays,
two collections of short stories
and five books
of annotated photographs.
His work was widely praised
and honored with literary awards,
but many admirers felt
that in the end,
Mr. Morris took literature
more seriously than it took him.
'No book of mine
can be read under a hair dryer,
while bolting a hamburger
or half-watching TV,''
he said in 1963,
acknowledging his reputation
as a sophisticated writer
on unsophisticated subjects.

‘The Democratic convention
is being held right next to the
stockyards,
and I keep asking myself whether the air is being befouled
by the decomposition of Eisenhower
or by the decomposition of
all America,’
Jean Genet, pictured left, with Allen Ginsberg
When the photographer who shot the Beatles
captured the moment the Vietnam war came home
Michael Cooper was most famous
for shooting candid moments with the Rolling Stones
and the cover of the Beatles’ 1967 album
Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
But in the summer of 1968
he found himself in Chicago to witness ‘America’s crack-up’
– as a police riot filled television screens
and an inter-generational conflict opened up
over the Vietnam
war

Robin Cook (pseudonym: Derek Raymond)
UK
1931-1994
English writer
who wrote
under the pseudonym
Derek Raymond
and who won
a loyal following
with his dark
and brutally
graphic crime
novels
(...)
His first novel,
"The Crust on Its Uppers,"
published in 1962
under his own name,
grew out
of his experiences
as a young man
who rebelled against
his middle-class
background
and went to work
for gangsters
from the East End
of London.
That book
and his other early novels,
including
"Bombe Surprise"
and "The Legacy
of the Stiff Upper Lip,"
quickly gained
a cult following.

Then she closed her eyes.
Her lips were parched.
Yellow spittle had caked
at the left corner of her mouth.
I took a cloth and
washed it away.
I cleaned her face, hands and throat.
I took another cloth
and
squeezed a bit of water on her tongue.
Then a little more.
I wet her lips.
I straightened her hair.
I heard the women
laughing through the sheets

It was my home and it smelt

In the brown hall my mother

with her sad eyes half-covered

Conrad Aiken
USA
1889-1973
Suddenly it was dark, and he was lost.
He was
groping, he touched the cold, white, slippery woodwork
with his fingernails,
looking for an electric switch.
The throbbing, of course, was the throbbing of
the ship.
But he was almost home - almost home.
Another corner to round, a door
to be opened,
and there he would be. Safe and sound. Safe in his father's home.
It was at this point that he woke up:
in the corridor that led to the dining
saloon.
Such pure terror, such horror,
seized him as he had never known.

Joe Orton
UK 1933-1967
They closed in;
he heard their voices now only as
myriad and interminable insects.
Falling into the gutter,
breathing the
sickening smell of blood, thinking how when he was younger,
a boy, a youth, he
had loved the sight of female flesh and the sound of women's voices,
of walking
or sitting alone with them under trees. He never knew the danger.
Then the
pavement, the stones, became actual, savage, filled with, evocative of,
the
claws of birds, maddening, terrifying sounds. He was afraid.
And then he died.

After Decades in Exile,
a South
African Writer’s Remains Will Head Home
By DANIEL MASSEY NYT
AUG. 8, 2014
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/10/nyregion/
after-decades-in-exile-a-south-african-writers-remains-will-head-home.html
On a July morning
nearly half a century ago,
Nat Nakasa,
a black South African
living in
exile in New York,
plummeted from
a seventh-story window
on Central Park West
and 102nd Street in
Manhattan,
suffering multiple fractures
and internal
injuries.
He was pronounced
dead on arrival
at Knickerbocker Hospital
in Harlem.
Mr. Nakasa
was 28 years old.
Just 10 months earlier,
he had left his home country
to take a Nieman
journalism fellowship
at
Harvard University.
Because he wrote articles
the apartheid government
abhorred,
officials denied him
a passport.
They offered
an exit permit
— a one-way ticket
out of the country —
daring him to renounce
his South African
citizenship.
“If I shall leave this country
and decide not
to come back,”
he wrote in 1964,
“it will be
because of a
desire
to avoid perishing
in my own bitterness
— a bitterness born
of being reduced
to a
second-class citizen.”
With key leaders
of the liberation movement,
including Nelson Mandela,
sent to prison,
and the government
cracking down on writers,
Mr. Nakasa
chose the exit permit.
In his final column
for The Rand Daily Mail,
“A Native of Nowhere,”
he wrote of
“taking a grave step”
and becoming
“a stateless person,
a wanderer.”
Less than a year later,
he was dead.

How To Kill
Under the parabola of a ball,
a child turning into a man,
I looked into the air too long.
The ball fell in my hand, it sang
in the closed fist: Open Open
Behold a gift designed to kill.
Now in my dial of glass appears
the soldier who is going to die.
He smiles, and moves about in ways
his mother knows, habits of his.
The wires touch his face: I cry
NOW. Death, like a familiar, hears
and look, has made a man of dust
of a man of flesh. This sorcery
I do. Being damned, I am amused
to see the centre of love diffused
and the wave of love travel into vacancy.
How easy it is to make a ghost.
The weightless mosquito touches
her tiny shadow on the stone,
and with how like, how infinite
a lightness, man and shadow meet.
They fuse. A shadow is a man
when the mosquito death approaches.

The ogre of betrayal
James Joyce wrote only one play, Exiles.
It was rejected by theatres and scorned by critics,
but it gives us a valuable
insight into his turbulent marriage
